[Nix-dev] qutebrowser undefined symbol 16.09

[Stefan Huchler]

Thanks Tomasz that did the trick.

So if you dont need this mechanism (have root privileges) its best to
not use userpackages to prevent this to happen?

I never understand the concept of installing software manualy in a
declerative operating system, cause it makes your step not easy
reproducable, I did use it anyway kind of out of lazyness I think, but
that seems to me than a second reason to not use that way of installing
packages again.

Sorry I dont want to troll, but maybe somebody have some oppinions about
that, maybe a warning in the documentation that this method of
installing software is not recommened for nixos users or explaination
for which cases its a good thing to do something like that, or mention
better the disadvantages (like this), would be a good idea?
